Nicole was our Keeper of the Book for this month and she led us woefully astray. She was the lone brave soul that was capable of venturing to the end of this tome for the rest of us gave up after varying amounts of pages ranging from five to 300. None of us had too much of an issue with the plot per se but it couldn't seem to get out of its own way and Thirrin just wasn't that likable of a character. In fact she was a bit of a snatch. And she's barely fourteen. Doom on her.
